Being a parent has some weird quirks. One is that you get to see a miniature version of you grow up. Another is that you get some humorous stories to share. This one is short, but it’s sometimes the norm with my 2 year old daughter.
MrsZtp and I were watching a movie last night, and she got a plate of snacks for the little one, namely to keep her occupied. I spotted some Apple slices, and I stoled one slice for myself, just one. Harmless really. Junior eventually noticed that I had ‘something’ in my hand, so the jig was soon up. Naturally, she decides to start feeding me the rest of her Apple slices. I figured she didn’t want them or something, since she only discovered that I had a apple slice by trying to offer me a carrot stick (fun fact: this morning I just re-discovered the carrot stick). I was apparently wrong.
A bit later I hear a panicked two year old, exclaiming “where’s my apples?! Where’s my apples?!” MrsZtp replied “it’s all gone.” “Where’s my apples?!” I replied “you gave them to me.” “Where’s my apples?!” “You GAVE them to me.” After a few more exchanges she calmed down, but still, it’s one of those “child of mine...” type moments.
I’m betting oppo has some great kid/parenting stories too. Why don’t you share them? Sometimes it’s nice to have a good laugh about what the little ones do. :)

The latest thing that our 2.5 year old says that cracks me up: if you ask if you can have something from him, he’ll say, “Of course.” How do they even pick this stuff up? He also went through a period of saying “yup” and “nope” to everything.
Also, I have a very loud sneeze when I let one loose (get it from my mom - ha!) - if he heard me, even if I’m downstairs in the opposite corner of the house, he’ll yell, “Bless you, Daddy!”

Ha. My kid calls any snack “cookie” and all fruits and veggies “apples”. It’s cute until she’s crying for a cookie/apple and you can’t figure out which one she wants.
We’ve also been watching Scooby Doo lately, and she shouts “scary, scary!” At the tv. But if I turn it off, she throws a fit because she wants to watch it. It's her new favorite show apparently.

Or little(r) one just turned three. My wife and I (but mainly me) have enjoyed the why my son is crying and have done a couple of “why my daughter is crying”.
One of them was my daughter absolutely losing her shit because she was insistent that her water bottle was “empty” even though it was about half full (and was translucent so she could see there was water in it). Smh

Ours is like that but with shredded cheese. If it’s not a mound, it therefore doesn’t exist and she must have it ‘now’. It's still there, it's just scattered.

My nearly three year old daughter has begun saying “duely noted”. It cracks my wife and me up every time.

I have had essentially the same exchange with my daughter several times :)

Awesome.
I'll take that into consideration, Daddy...

My kid just freaked out because I’m eating goldfish, despite her having her own cup of goldfish, in her hand. She kept saying “mine, mine.” -_-
